Controller

Aspire Indiana Health is a nonprofit provider of comprehensive “whole health” services including primary medical care, behavioral health, recovery services and programs addressing the social drivers of health such as housing and employment. Aspire has health centers throughout Central Indiana serving Hoosiers of all ages and walks of life.

The Controller is a senior financial leader responsible for safeguarding the financial integrity of Aspire Indiana Health through effective accounting operations, financial reporting, internal controls, compliance, and financial governance.

The Controller oversees the organization’s accounting functions, including general ledger, accounts payable, financial close, financial reporting, audit preparation, reconciliations, fixed assets, and other assigned financial operations. The position establishes and maintains effective financial controls and ensures accounting practices are consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), regulatory requirements, and organizational policies.

The Controller also provides financial oversight and independent review of payroll prior to final processing. Payroll administration remains within Team People, and the Payroll Coordinator does not report to the Controller. The Controller’s payroll responsibility is focused on financial accuracy, reconciliation, internal controls, regulatory compliance, and final financial review.

The Controller reports to the SVP of Finance and maintains a functional partnership with the Chief People Officer specifically for payroll governance and pre-processing review.
